pom pom garland

Every year I like to come up with a handmade garland for our tree and this year I wanted to make something really colorful, fun and kid friendly. I decided on a pom pom garland (but I didn't have the time to make my own pom poms or the budget to buy felt pom poms) so I grabbed lots of bags of colorful pom poms from the craft store and got to work!

Using a needle and thread I strung the pom poms onto the thread until I had a really, REALLY long garland.

(I knew the project was a success when I realized Lucy ran off with a stash of pom poms!)

The result is a really colorful (and funky) garland that compliments our collection of ornaments. Now its time to decorate...

I'm not surprised Lucy ran off with your pom poms. I used to keep a big box of pom poms around when my children were younger - just for playing. It's amazing how much fun they are! DD is now 8 and still occasionally takes them out to play with. Of course, you'll be finding pom poms everywhere after . . .
